hiwiki:IPA for Sanskrit
imported>SM7 द्वारा परिवर्तित १४:१४, २७ नवम्बर २०१८ का अवतरण (सुधार)
The charts below show the way in which the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents Sanskrit pronunciations in Wikipedia articles.
Sanskrit has many complex phonological processes, called sandhi, that alter sounds due to the presence of neighboring sounds at morpheme or word boundaries. See Shiksha for a more thorough discussion of the sounds of Sanskrit.

Notes
- ↑ अ आ इ In its time, Sanskrit was transmitted orally only. Traditionally, the various languages of India each used their local Brahmic script script for writing Sanskrit. In the past few centuries, Devanagari has come to be used as the default script for Sanskrit.
- ↑ अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ए Vowels may occur nasalized as an allophone of the nasal consonants in certain positions. See anusvara, chandrabindu.
- ↑ Sanskrit distinguishes between long and short vowels. Each monophthong has a long and short phoneme. The diphthongs, historically /ai, aːi, au, aːu/, also have a difference in quality: /e, əi, o, əu/. Vowels may rarely occur extra-long.
